Timeline

1981

Micheal David Larsen (November 9, 1981 – October 16, 2010), better known by his stage name Eyedea, was an American musician, rapper, and poet.

He was a freestyle battle champion and songwriter from Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Larsen had appeared as a solo artist under the pseudonym Oliver Hart, and as the MC half of the duo Eyedea & Abilities (along with longtime friend and collaborator DJ Abilities).

He was first signed to Slug's independent hip-hop label Rhymesayers Entertainment before founding his own record label, Crushkill Recordings.

Eyedea first stepped into the hip-hop scene battling against other emcees at notable freestyle competitions.

1997

Eyedea became known as a battle MC, touring the circuit between 1997 and 2001.

1999

Notable wins included a victory at Scribble Jam (1999) and the televised Blaze Battle sponsored by HBO (2000), which was hosted by KRS-One.

Following the win, he won an impressive portion of money, but was also offered a higher cut if he signed a record contract with hip hop mogul P. Diddy, to which he declined, instead helping build Rhymesayers Entertainment from the ground up.

Notable hip-hop outlets have labeled Eyedea as a freestyle pioneer.

Eyedea has released numerous albums alongside DJ Abilities where the two performed under the duo name "Eyedea & Abilities".

In 1999, he made his first national appearance on the Anticon compilation, Music for the Advancement of Hip Hop.

He also toured extensively as second MC and support DJ for Atmosphere.

2000

During this time, he won top prizes at Scribble Jam '99, the Rock Steady Anniversary 2000, and Blaze Battle New York 2000.

These battles included him beating notable artists such as Immortal Technique, P.E.A.C.E and PackFM.

2001

In 2001, Eyedea & Abilities released their debut studio album First Born, which included their successful single "Big Shots".

The single was later chosen to appear on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4.

In 2001, he released First Born with his partner DJ Abilities (collectively, they were initially called the Sixth Sense, but later changed the name to Eyedea & Abilities).

2002

2004

In 2004, Eyedea & Abilities released their second studio album titled E&A, which included the singles "Paradise" & "Man vs Ape".

In 2004, he reunited with Abilities to release the self-titled album E&A.

All of Eyedea's releases have been on the Rhymesayers record label, with the exception of the Carbon Carousel EP, which was released on his own Independent music label, Crushkill Recordings.

In addition to touring independently and with Rhymesayers labelmates and members of Face Candy, Eyedea & Abilities participated in the Def Jux-sponsored "Who Killed the Robots?"

tour, titled by Eyedea.
